Which architectures backends support Zig's SIMD vector types? do they all codegen vector instructions/registers or do some arches degrade into scalar?

Pretty sure they degrade to scalar; I accidentally compiled 8x64-bit to arm and it worked just fine (maybe not as fast), even though arm only supports 2x64-bit SIMD.
